Hello, It's there any option/setting in mozilla thunderbird for drag and drop emails to local drive folder and save them under another filename that the standard "Subject" name? I don't know if i'm clearly enough, that's why i want to make a briefly description of the operation i want and the way the emails i want to appear in my folder. I drag and drop an email to my folder and this email has the filename represented by the "Subject" of that email. Can i change the way emails are saved ? Or can i drag and drop emails from one sender in separate folder ?

This is not clear to me. Are you saving in a folder in Thunderbird and wanting the subject to be changed? You can drag messages from one folder to another, but that doesn't appear to be what you want.

Use the ImportExportTools NG add-on to customize the names of exported messages. See attached picture.
